Abstract

In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of the Japanese angelfish, Centropyge interrupta (Perciformes: Pomacanthidae), has been sequenced by the next-generation sequencing method. The assembled mitogenome consisting of 16,595 bp includes 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and two ribosomal RNAs genes. The overall base composition of Japanese angelfish is 27.5% for A, 29.3% for C, 17.3% for G, 25.9% for T, and shows 85% identities to flame angelfish Centropyge loriculus. The complete mitogenome of the Japanese angelfish provides essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogeography and evolutionary analysis for marine angelfish phylogeny.

Keywords: Japanese angelfish; mitogenome; next-generation sequencing.
